Audience Member Nicoleta Valery Grossu had a very similar life in jail to what Jews had on concentration camps during WWII. A little bit too hard to watch the torture scenes. Good story, movie was poorly produced though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member [i]I saw [url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338789/"]Bless You, Prison[/url] today at the theater with some friends. This excellent film tells the story of Nicoleta Valéry-Grossu, a Roumanian journalist who was arrested by the Communists in 1949 for being an active member of an opposition party. After three months of interrogation, torture and isolation, Nicoleta was on the edge of despair. Alone in her cell, she made a spiritual experience that allowed her to rediscover her faith in God. Thus fortified, she endured the hardships of prison life and laybor camps and became for the other inmates an example of strength (through faith) and Christian charity.[/i][i][/i] Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
